Introduction
The outbreak of COVID-19 forced one global shift like working, which was work from home that has become more widespread and not just limited to the events of the first wave. Since companies and employees adopted the work-from-home policy its impact has spread across the United States in particular the suburban and rural areas. These relatively developed regions, not previously sought after in the labor market, are now seeing a revival as remote work redetermines regional economies. The topic of this article is how teleworking is reshaping the economic base of suburban and rural areas and is based on the effects on housing markets, businesses, and communities.

1. The Surge of Remote Work: A New Referencing System
It has long been a trend that is slowly taking its course even before the current outbreak of COVID-19, but the pandemic elevated it to a level never before imagined. It took a few months for business organizations to dumb down the work-from-home format and most of them have discovered that a lot does not have to be achieved in an office. When the pandemic recession hit, it became understood that remote work was not simply a stopgap measure but a new normal in the world of employment.

The shift to remote work has been most dramatic in suburban and rural regions, which in the past have rarely been the centers of well-paid work or office-based employment. These areas, with their relatively low prices proximity to natural areas, and absence of traffic jams and noise, have become rather popular among employees working remotely from high-priced large cities.
2. Exploring the Conventional Wisdom of Housing Markets
Perhaps the most apparent way in which remote work interacts and has reshaped suburban and rural economies is in the realm of housing. Due to the advancement in technology and the increase in the flexibility of jobs especially through remote working, one did not have to live close to his workplace. This gave a shift from large city dwellings to suburban and rural areas that were relatively cheaper to live in.

2.1. Trends in Migration and Housing Requirements
Working from home has led to some dramatic changes in commuting and therefore the demands of housing in suburban and rural locations. Such states that few years ago were recording diminishing population numbers or evidence of redundancy in population growth are now recording positive signs of increased population density in their territory. For example, Idaho, Vermont, and Montana states and smaller towns that form counties have experienced dramatic growth of new inhabitants with more people working from home and living in rural areas.
This has led to a higher population occupancy of these areas and in effect a rise in the prices of these residences and a general tightening of the housing market. At times, this competition has led to ‘several’ bidders with houses going for prices higher than the listed price. This has been a blessing for homeowners and real estate investors in these regions but has equally posed a major problem for other residents who find themselves locked out of the market.
2.2. Impact on Rental Markets

Another type of accommodation has also been impacted due to the new trend of working from home, that is the rental market in the suburban and rural areas. Such developments have seen workers shift to these areas, thus, the occupancies have raised rents and lowered the vacancies. This has been useful in generating extra income for the property owners, especially in regions that do have not so much demand for rentals.
But this has also led to the cause of pressure on the availability of affordable houses in these regions due to the high demand for rentals. For some of the residents, renters particularly those in the local market, can experience an increase in the difficulty of accessing affordable rental units hence the issue of housing affordability.
2.3. Changes in Housing Preferences

The increasing use of technology and resulting decentralization have also affected the housing needs of home purchasers and tenants. This flexibility of working from home has seen many remote workers keying on features like home offices, spacious homes, and access to compound or green space. Thus, houses in suburban or rural regions with such attributes are in particular demand among consumers.
To meet these new trends, homebuilders and developers are paying more attention to the construction of homes for the new wave of remote employees. This includes coming up with home layouts having working spaces within homes, provision of internet connectivity, and availability of areas such as patios and gardens. It seems that there are even new communities being built with remote workers in mind; they are equipped with co-working offices, fast internet connection, and sporting facilities.
3. A local business

Business that belongs to a specific area or country, and hence this is the main reason as to why this paper seeks to focus on the impact on local businesses.
With more and more people first and foremost working from home and secondly doing business remotely, local businesses in suburbs and rural areas have also been affected. In the course of new residents relocating to a new area, this means that they are likely to need various commodities and services, hence opening up the market for various ventures.
3. 1. Boost in Consumer Spending

Consumer spending is another of the most direct impacts of remote work on local economies. Mobile workers, who adopt rural areas and suburbs as their new workplaces, are normally part of the middle class with disposable income that they are willing to spend. This increase in spend should prove well for all sorts of local businesses whether it be for meals in restaurants and cafes, shopping for clothes, or accessing service providers.
For instance, several small towns have experienced revitalization of the downtown parts due to the new residents who are willing to shop at the local stores. Previously, local restaurants could hardly survive and now are well filled, in addition, new businesses are being established due to this type of economy. These funds have been used to support local businesses, and are preventing a bland and desolate environment, for the consumer.
3.2. Growth of Remote-Friendly Businesses

On top of that, the increase in remote work has also given rise to new businesses—businesses for remote workers. For instance, coworking platforms are today common in suburban and rural regions offering remote workers an office other than their own homes. Such areas comprise amenities like; the internet, secluded offices, as well as meetings and social interaction making the workers feel as though they are working within a common organization.
Some of the local industries that have experienced a boost include the following; technological support services for the new workstations, office furniture specially for home offices, and products that focus on promoting the health of these employees. This has necessitated new forms of entrepreneurship in the suburban and rural areas because of commutation between home and workplace.

3.3. Challenges for Local Businesses
As the increase of remote work has given local companies numerous advantages, they also faced some issues. For instance, firms may experience a demand-pull by which the growing desire for goods and services forces a skyrocketing of prices and scarcity of commodities. Third, while having a lot of new buyers’ attention, some companies might not be ready to meet the demand; this results in an increased response time and therefore a low customer satisfaction rate.
In addition, while the key workers now generating new economic activity in suburban and rural areas may be beneficial the prospect of them becoming a threat to local businesses is pending. For instance, when new people move into the area they prefer to shop at national retail chains or order items online. These are concerns known as the ‘negative externalities’ and could place pressure on small independent businesses which might be disadvantaged compared to the large firms.
4. Effects on the dynamics of the communities

Remote work changes the social and community dynamics of suburban and rural areas in the same way. With the new change of residents coming in, there are changes in behavior, beliefs, and desires that come along with them, which can be both beneficial and detrimental to communities.
4.1. Changing Demographics
Perhaps one of the most conspicuous sociogeographical ramifications of remote work is the new demographic complexion in suburban and rural areas. When people migrate to these areas they take with them, better education, income, and diversity which are workplace assets. This can cause social transformation in these communities in the sense that new residents bring in a new view and pattern of society.

At times, this can result in an increased social and cultural involvement, since more people would like to have access to arts, entertainment, and other forms of recreation which they are likely to import here. This can give a boost to the quality of the community and expand and change the social setting to a greater extent.
However, the wave brings people and also may cause competition between the old inhabitants and newcomers. For example, groups may have differences as to what political views they have, what they prefer to do in their spare time, or what they expect from a community in terms of services. At times, it results in controversies concerning the use of certain tracts of land, development, or local management.

4.2. Community Engagement and Involvement
Another area that has interlinked with the increase in remote working is with the social participation and presence in suburban and rural communities. The authors argue that workers who decide to move to these regions with their jobs may have incentives to participate in local community, charity, and even governance activities once they are assimilated into the regions.
New people moving into a certain community is a boost, as they come in with new ideas, enthusiasm, and the capacity to contribute to social activities in the community. For instance, employees who work from home are likely to get engaged in schools and child care facilities, facilities for youth, or the physical environment and thus support the development of a better society.
However, there is also the danger that a remote worker may be left lonely especially if he or she is working from home and hardly get to interact with other people in his or her neighborhood. This may make one feel out of touch with other people in society, and in the long run, may lead to reduced interaction with other people in society. In response to this challenge, some of the communities have woke up to the fact and have begun to look for ways to ensure that these remote workers are integrated into society.
4.3. Infrastructure and Services
That is accessed by companies in the suburbs and rural areas to work from home and therefore there is a need to invest in infrastructural and service-related provision. This includes improvement in transport, health, school, and security among other services hence the tags about infrastructural services including parks, fields, structures, and institutions among others.
For instance, several persons work from home and therefore need internet bandwidth in rural areas, that were hitherto unconnected. To meet this need, local authorities and private companies are gradually constructing broadband networks, which are essential for work-from-home plans and for concentrating on personnel attraction.
About the second area, there is also a problem of extension of services to accommodate an increasing population. This includes health services, which may be constrained with increased population more so in regions of new population density which is largely of a rural nature. Likewise, schools and childcare facilities could be required to increase the size of the buildings to accommodate a large population of families that are moving to suburban and rural areas.

Conclusion
New patterns of working resulting from an increase in remote work affect primarily sub-urban and rural economies; tensions in apartment markets; stimulate the purchase of local produce; and transform society. As people are shifting to work remotely or moving from large cities to other areas, those geographical locations are again opening up and the possibility of new employment generation and revival of other sectors can be easily seen.
However, this has been the drastic change that has instilled that some factors should be encouraged, or on the same note, some factors should be discouraged if the intended regions are to be prosperous in the future. This consists of issues to do with housing affordability, buying from local vendors, development of physical infrastructure as well as service delivery for the growing population.

With the integration of remote working, therefore, suburban and rural regions have the chance of becoming vibrant, prosperous, and desirably populated areas for people to live in. Should the organizations as well as the government of these regions master the opportunities that are latent in the process of implementation of remote work while simultaneously realizing and overcoming the challenges related to it, these regions will indeed have the potential to determine the further tendencies in shaping the working environment and economical niching in the United States of America.
